71 CB500 Carb - float height ect.
« on: October 21, 2008, 12:33:53 PM »
I have the info in a 750 (26mm) so I set them at that. Any know for sure whats correct?
Also, I lost track of where the 3.5mm rubber tubing that comes off the center two carbs is routed to. I'm thinking I would have tagged them, maybe just plugged or to the air box? Any help would be great.

The correct float height for the CB500 carbs is 22mm and the vent tubes hang down behind the engine together with the bowl overflow tubes.
